3.2 Installation You Have to Know

Installing CPU

This motherboard supports AMD®Athlon Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of

CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection

function implemented, the system will be automatically powered off when the

temperature of CPU reaches to 97 degree, but it works only on AthlonTMXP /

Duron CPU).

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper

interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the

socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation.

Note: If you do not m
